Prior Plaintiff Personal Injury and/or Insurance Defense experience is required for this role. You already know what PI work looks like. What matters now is where you do it. At Kisner Law, we are building a plaintiff-side law firm designed for people who are good at what they do and want an environment that actually supports that. We are not trying to be the biggest volume mill in the region. We are focused on building a strong, modern, systems-driven firm where talented people can grow, contribute, and genuinely enjoy working together.

Why Attorneys Want to Work Here

• Leadership that is accessible, collaborative, and invested in the team
• Support staff and systems designed to help cases move efficiently

• A workplace where ideas are welcomed, and initiative is appreciated

• You enjoy plaintiff-side advocacy and negotiation

• You want to work somewhere that feels ambitious but sustainable

• Draft pleadings, motions, discovery responses, settlement demands, correspondence, and other legal documents
• Conduct legal research and analyze case‑specific legal and factual issues
• Prepare for and participate in depositions, discovery, statements, negotiations, and other litigation‑related activities
• Communicate regularly with clients, insurance adjusters, opposing counsel, medical providers, and other parties

Qualifications

• Juris Doctor from an accredited law school
• Licensed and in good standing with the Maryland Bar (DC Bar admission is a plus)
• Prior experience in personal injury, workers’ compensation, litigation, family law, or another client‑facing practice area preferred
• Strong legal research, writing, analytical, and organizational skills
• Experience managing deadlines, court calendars, and active caseloads

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary ($125,000–$180,000 + bonus, depending on experience)
